“Faustina, the Warrior: Winning Spiritual Warfare” Part 2- Sr. Gaudia Skass, OLM | February 22, 2020

This month's Evening with the Merciful Jesus was recorded at the Shrine. Please tune in at 7:00 p.m. on our Facebook page ( / li.. ) or KZbin Channel ( • "Trust" - Fr. Gabriel ... ).
Sr. Gaudia Skass, OLM shared the second part of her talk on spiritual warfare. The first part of this talk can be found under this link: • “Faustina, the Warrior... . In the second part Sister talks about how to get prepared for all kinds of battles in our lives and shares with us 3 rules on how to win. Having in her mind the context of the whole “Diary” of St. Faustina she draws 3 overarching strategies which Jesus gives us in the passages quoted below. Listen to this inspiring talk to face your daily battles with confidence and boldness!
“I want to teach you about spiritual warfare. Never trust in yourself, but abandon yourself totally to My Will.
In desolation, darkness and various doubts, have recourse to Me and to your spiritual director. He will always answer you in My Name.
Do not bargain with any temptation; lock yourself immediately in My Heart and, at the first opportunity, reveal the temptation to the confessor.
Put your self-love in the last place, so that it does not taint your deeds. Bear with yourself with great patience. Do not neglect interior mortifications.
Always justify to yourself the opinions of your Superiors and of your confessor. Shun murmurers like a plague. Let all act as they like; you are to act as I want you to.
Observe the rule as faithfully as you can. If someone causes you trouble, think what good you can do for the person who caused you to suffer.
Do not pour out your feelings. Be silent when you are rebuked. Do not ask everyone’s opinion, but only the opinion of your confessor; be as frank and simple as a child with him.
Do not become discouraged by ingratitude. Do not examine with curiosity the roads down which I lead you.
When boredom and discouragement beat against your heart, run away from yourself and hide in My Heart.
Do not fear struggle; courage itself often intimidates temptations, and they dare not attack us. Always fight with the deep conviction that I am with you.
Do not be guided by feeling, because it is not always under your control; but all merit lies in the will.
Always depend upon your Superiors, even in the smallest things.
I will not delude you with prospects of peace and consolations; on the contrary, prepare for great battles.
Know that you are now on a great stage where all heaven and earth are watching you.
Fight like a knight, so that I can reward you. Do not be unduly fearful, because you are not alone.” (Diary #1760)
“February 3, (1938). Today after Holy Communion, Jesus again gave me a few directives:
First, do not fight against temptation by yourself, but disclose it to the confessor at once, and then the temptation will lose all its force.
Second, during these ordeals do not lose your peace; live in My Presence; ask My Mother and the saints for help.
Third, have the certitude that I am looking at you and supporting you.
Fourth, do not fear either struggles of the soul or any temptations, because I am supporting you; if only you are willing to fight, know that the victory is always on your side.
Fifth, know that by fighting bravely you give Me great glory and amass merits for yourself. Temptation gives you a chance to show Me your fidelity.” (Diary #1560)

Trust Me Fight bravely Remember, I'm always with you Treasure this. Live by this.

I thought I was Christian. I found out I was wrong. I did not really know Jesus until I read "Diary of Saint Faustina"! If not for her, I would have lost my soul. She had such a formidable soul. I am not sure how she endured and overcame obstacles. However; she loved God a thousand times more. She is a great teacher and her diary can be your daily "spiritual vitamin". You won't be the same afterwards. Prayer becomes like a delicious wine. You become addicted! You become holy!

[@Beatrice.Ndungu]

Beautiful words from you

[@domingosfurtado8473]

Not long ago the Great Mother communicated with me.Among other kind things, she brought me to Faustina, then Faustina's diary, and yesterday to the videos of this beautiful soul in this and the prior video. I have been serenely blessed by the Blessed Mother's kindness in my deepest humility and gratitude. I believe, adore and trust in Mary. I feel now she is always with me . This young lady is a great inspiration. Mary brought these videos to me. Bless you, all of you. Kindness, peace, love and gratitude .

This is JUST OUTSTANDING! We are ALL in the battle of life, there is NO ESCAPE FROM IT. The only thing that is, is the friends we pick in the battle. Familiar Spirits that beat us up and halt us in the battle, or the friends of The Father! I thought this was good enough to pass on! Fix our eyes on Jesus, lest we sink instead of walking on the water, the waters, the familiar’s that beat us up…. Includes me too!

I just thank you sister for doing this videos. I found them when I was looking for Holy Mass. So I save them to my laptop. After Mass I came back and I started a retreat on my owe, listening to you for me it was like listening to St Faustina. I read her dairy every day a a little bit at a time. I feel like I know her I have been reading her book since April 19, 1990. You should see it. It's falling apart, but I don't want buy a new one. This to me is part of St Faustina and another book would not feel the same. Again Thank you. I watch one video a day, my retreat began on the day of Divine Mercy Sunday, since we couldn't be in Mass to celebrate the Feast of Divine Mercy, I thought what better then to be in a spiritual retreat with your videos. God bless you please continue teaching us.

I never put the diary down for long. It soothes my soul. It explains so much. It gives me hope... great hope! St Faustina loved Jesus so much & our blessed mother too. She was a mighty warrior. She is one of my main role models... besides Mary that is... as an example of the kind of woman I want to be. I am nothing like her. But I want to be.

[@susancarrera8781]

Thank you, this helps my growth thru my journey towards eternity, hopefully Iam Holy enough to enter heaven. I joined Divine Mercy cyan Le since 2018, it got interrupted due to this pandemic, now we resume, we are now on our 3rd book chancel, we use Scriptures, Catechism , and the diary of St. Faustina book. The diary of St. Faustina helps me experience her intimate relationship with our Our Lord Jesus and the way she lives her life helping Jesus saves souls. And most importantly how we experiences our suffering because of sins and that God allow suffering and persecution to wake us up, that we carry our own cross and that we offer our sufferings or unite our suffering thru Jesus passion to help us, Jesus will help us get thru our suffering so we can glorify our Father for His mercy and Love for us.

What the sister Gaudia tells at the beginning of her speech about Jesus's image is the truth. As in my case.

[@francishopkins44]

I used to attend Confession ever 4 Weeks, but, now because of the Crises in the Church, I now hesitate, because I am loosing Faith in The Clergy, especially Pope Francis and my local Priest. I pray for him and the Clergy every day. My Soul is Sad and my heart is breaking. Please remember me in your Prayers.

[@merynco]

Francis hopkins The evil one can fool us all to say these things to keep us from repentance. Please remember to ask Jesus to help you get to confession remove the doubts and discouragement that is not from Our Lord. Read referenced passages in the Diary 1560 is one I just heard on here. Please battle through this Trust Jesus who will never leave you, he hears all your concerns. Btw there are Divine Mercy Diary apps, so there is support within reach.

[@cmcas]

Remember we confess to Jesus, the priest merely lends his ear to hear and his lips to guide, otherwise we would end up talking to ourselves. Don't trouble yourself with the priest, if you make a valid confession you will be absolved.

[@enn4983]

Please concentrate on trusting in God and not the clergy. The clergy are human just like us and can fall sometimes. Today the 'problems' and 'woes' of the church are highly exaggerated by the press which seems like a powerful arm of the devil. Today's press is populated mostly by people who hate God and the church. When in doubt speak to Jesus directly in prayer. After all the prayer in the image of Jesus is 'Jesus, I trust in you'. May the mighty name of Jesus be praised !!!

[@maycamilleri8308]

Dear Francis, I found myself in your situation. I pray that you go to another church. I went to 2 other churches until I found a good confessor. Pray to the queen of confessors, our Blessed Mother. She will guide you to the right confessor. Besides, trust in The Lord. He is with you always and fight by searching in different churches.

[@alldoneup]

Never ever ever take the sacrament of reconciliation lightly. God himself gave us this sacrament and we must avail ourselves of it to grow in holiness. Don't let anyone tell you you differently or say going to confession is not necessary... Listen to Jesus, he said of his apostles, whoever's sins you forgive are forgiven.
